Design Concept

Based on New English Curriculum Standards, students are supposed to learn knowledge and develop skills, aimed at exploring themes, regarding a text as a carrier in the practice of comprehending and expressing. They should accumulate constructed knowledge by conceptual activities such as sensing, predicting, acquiring, analyzing, summarizing, comparing, evaluating and innovating. Teachers should help students cultivate thinking quality, develop cultural comprehension, shape correct outlook on life as well as viewpoint of value and promote their key competence of English in the process of analyzing and solving problems.

Analysis of the teaching material

This unit offers information about New Zealand. This class focuses on the History of this country and it is designed mainly to improve the students’ reading and speaking ability. In order to let the students pay attention to the history of New Zealand in a 40-minute class, the first part of the reading text in this unit, which is about its geography, is left out. First, the students are going to match the main idea of each paragraph by finding their topic sentence. Then they are asked to put nine historic events in right order. By doing so, they can learn the history of New Zealand clearly and in the process they are supposed to learn some new words and expressions. Next, they are going to discuss the cultures in New Zealand, which is of great value in improve students’ cultural quality. Finally, they are asked to make a speech about the history of New Zealand, which offers them an opportunity to output what they have learned in this class.

This class is vital in this unit, because it trains students’ reading skills such as skimming, scanning, close reading, summarizing and word-guessing.

Analysis of the students

The teaching objects are all the students from Class Ten, Grade Two. That is to say, the levels of their English are various. As a result, I design the class activities of different degrees of difficulty to make sure that all the students take an active part in the class. On the whole, the students don’t tend to speak English in class, and therefore, I design discussion and making a speech to arouse their enthusiasm about speaking English. Meanwhile, they will be able to learn the importance of cooperation and sense the joy of learning English.
